Clinical trials at The James are moving cancer care and treatment forward faster and getting us even closer to a cancer-free world. Every cancer treatment used today, at one point, started as a clinical trial. And the advances The James experts are continuing to make are truly occurring exponentially. For example, because of clinical trials, these medical specialists and sub-specialists can actually target specific cancer cells right within the genes those cells are attacking. By being able to target those cancer cells specifically, new drugs and therapies are continually being designed to go after and kill those cancer cells, essentially turning them off.
